Jersey City’s McNair Academic High School topped Inside Jersey’s list as Hudson County’s top Performing Public High School for Academics and the Arts.

The magazine’s ranking relies on a combined SAT score, a composite High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) score and a combined arts participation score.

McNair received a score of 375, earning it a spot in the top third statewide rankings with an SAT total of 1,776, a HSPA composite of 273 and total arts participation of 42 percent.

The score of 375 tied Essex County’s North Star Academy Charter School of Newark at No. 16 in the state rankings.

High Tech High School in North Bergen was the only other Hudson County school to place in the top third of the rankings, following McNair with a score of 345. High Tech, part of the Hudson County Schools of Technology, had a SAT total of 1,638, a HSPA composite of 240 and a total arts participation of 58 percent.

The following schools were ranked among the state’s middle third: Weehawken High School, 319 County Prep High School, 309 Secaucus High School, 302

These schools were ranked among the state’s lower third: Bayonne High School, 288 Kearny High School, 283 North Bergen High School, 274 Memorial High School, 274 Harrison High School, 268 Union City High School, 260 Dickinson High School, 253 Hoboken High School, 249 University Academy Charter High School, 238 Ferris High School, 237 Snyder High School, 215 Lincoln High School, 215

McNair didn’t fare as well inthe 2014 New Jersey Monthly magazine listing, out this week.

Although it is the only Hudson County school to make the magazine’s Top 100 High Schools list, it fell from No. 2 last year to No. 62. The one area of the ratings that seemed low was “% enrolled in college 16 months after HS.’’ With a 76, it was one of only two schools on the list — the other being Mahwah High School — coming in below 80 percent.
